Youth Religious Knot

Religious
Emblems - Reference Data

Religious emblems are for all members of the BSA that wish to pursue
them. The Youth Awards are earned through work with the individual religious unit and
the requirements for each are set by the church and not by BSA. Once earned, the
award is generally presented by the church or religious group but may also be recognized
by the Scout unit at an event such as a Court of Honor or Troop meeting or Pack meeting.
This award may be earned as a youth, or presented to an adult
that is nominated. Once earned
as a youth, the knot may be displayed on the uniform from that time forward. If a
Scout earns the youth award and as an adult later is presented the adult award as well,
both knots may be worn.

PINS for
KNOTS:

For each faith, a specific set
of requirements is published and is established by the religious faith and not by
BSA.
For a listing of resources for each of the religious faiths that participate in
this program, see the information in the table and links below. A
youth that has earned the award more than once at different youth levels
of scouting may also wear pins that indicate how the know was earned.
Only a single youth knot may be worn.

The ScoutingBSA.org web site is a
legacy site of the Viking Council BSA, now Northern Star Council.
This site was the original council site and was active from 1996 to
2002 and run by volunteers. As the web became more important to
Scouting, the council took over with paid staff. This site is no
longer maintained but is an interesting snapshot of an early Scouting
web site. You can share your comments using our
